 RDBMS]. :) this probably doesn't matter, but it could confuse some
 onlookers / people trying to help (or maybe not.)

 Derp. I meant "an RDBMS for interacting with key-value stores in Redis".

 I intended there to be a database management system, which one one side
 would have an API for taking/answering queries from bridge distributors,
 and on the other side, would handle talking to whatever the databases on
 the backend are.

 I decided to go with using [https://pypi.python.org/pypi/txredis
 `txredis`], even though it has some problems. Work so far on this is in my
 `fix/12031-redis`
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/isis/bridgedb.git/shortlog/refs/heads/fix/12031-redis
 branch]. Tests are totally '''[https://travis-
 ci.org/isislovecruft/bridgedb/builds/28244260 not] passing''' yet. See the
 commit messages in that branch for design a couple major design choices
 and some problems encountered so far.
